Glenn Bradford Gallery

Glenn is a pompous ass. He treats you like he is doing you a favor while he charges outrageous prices. He even insulted my girlfriend after the work was done and paid for. My work was even outsourced and not even done by him. Zero customer service and a horrible buying experience. I highly recommend you don’t use him.

I was shopping out engagement rings a few years ago when I came across Glenn Bradford. At first glance I believed that his store was quaint and that the pieces had an old fashioned flair. However, once I met the stores namesake I was less than impressed. The pieces he showed me were gaudy with ridiculous gaps between the stones in the placement. His biggest sin was not his work, rather how he treated me. Take notes Glenn, the next time a prospective customer comes into your store looking to spend thousands of dollars on your costume jewelry, do not make the customer feel like an idiot for focusing on the Four C’s. I’m glad that I left with my money and my dignity intact, you have been warned.

Work is shoddy. Guy is weird. Made a mistake and feel compelled to share. Had a $ 7000 diamond and gold wedding band made there a couple of years ago. It never fit correctly but after he made it every time I went back he would start spraying my finger with ammonia and he was so awful to deal with (after payment in full of course) that finally I gave up. I wore it a few times, it was always uncomfortable and even with those few times I lost a couple of the diamonds. Finally just took it to another jeweler and had earrings made from the ring.

Can’t caution fellow buyers enough. I had a ring custom made, the appraisal by a very reputable jeweler in Great Neck came in at half what I paid. The smaller diamonds in the setting started falling out within a week. The fit was poor and not correctable. I imagine he does some good stuff judging from the pieces he sells but not for me.

In my opinion, this is not a gallery but a beautiful jewelry store that does shoddy work. Designs nice pieces, but the execution is not fine quality. The work on my stones was rarely done on premises except the design.
Most of my work was SENT OUT to a «setter.» When the rhodium wore off, they charged me again to replace it. Most jewelers that I have had experience with guarantee their work.
The one thing that I give them kudos for is that they are a very charitable organization that supports many LI Charities.
